We have created several new exciting and totally indulgent blends. Watch for their release next month!

World News

The specialty tea industry in the US is still expanding, despite the global economic downturn. What this means to you is a healthy and robust tea economy for years to come and a steady supply of top-notch tea from our source farms.

Americans love an affordable luxury and at less than 20 cents a cup for the world’s finest tea (not counting, of course, that inescapable second steep), new simple processes for steeping loose-leaf tea, and a cornucopia of new flavors and blends, there is no stopping the wave of popularity that specialty tea is experiencing in the US.

Ask Dr. Oolong

Dr. Oolong, my boyfriend insists on drinking coffee all day long and by the time he comes home he is so out of it I find it hard to connect with him. I tried to get him to drink tea, but he refuses. What do I do? Fed Up In Seattle

Dear FUIS, the kind doctor would like to remind you that you can’t force anyone to change. As a former coffee, um, enthusiast, it took me almost three years to wean myself off of the bean. And that was only after having to deal with several health problems as a result of my coffee habits. In your case, dear FUIS, perhaps a long massage is in order, a hot bath, and a steaming cup of tea. For you, I mean, not him. Then fix him a decaf instant coffee and tell him it is French Roast. He won’t know the difference.
